World Hypertension Day 2023: In today’s time, the problem of hypertension ie high blood pressure has become very common. There is definitely a person in every other house who is a victim of this disease. In such a situation, World Hypertension Day is celebrated every year to spread awareness about hypertension around the world. The goal of celebrating this day is to spread awareness about the prevention, detection, causes and control of high blood pressure. Let it be said that many people take the problem of high blood pressure lightly and start ignoring it. In such a situation, the risk of many health-related problems like heart disease, stroke, thyroid etc. increases manifold.
Know when the problem of high BP takes serious form
Let us tell you that every year a special theme is kept to make people aware of hypertension. This year’s theme is ‘Measure your blood pressure accurately, control it, live longer’. If we talk about India, then every year lakhs of cases of high BP are reported in the country. When a person’s blood pressure is above 140/90, it is called high blood pressure, but if this figure becomes 180/90 or more, then it takes a very serious form. Usually, there are no symptoms of high blood pressure problem, but it can increase the risk of many serious conditions.
high bp one silent killer
Experts say that nowadays hypertension is becoming the main cause of death in the form of a silent killer. At present, around 128 crore people around the world are suffering from the problem of high BP, out of which more than eight crore people are in India alone. Even though there is no threat to a person’s life due to high BP, people are losing their lives due to diseases like heart disease and stroke.
Experts say that teenagers falling victim to this disease is the most worrying thing. At present, about 7.6 percent of teenagers in India are troubled by the problem of high BP. Due to the absence of symptoms of this disease in teenage, it becomes even more difficult to treat it in youth. In such a situation, many parts of the body get damaged even before the disease is detected.
high bp treatment in teenagers
If the disease is detected in adolescence itself, not only can the body be protected from its damage, but it is possible to cure the disease by changing the diet. To save teenagers from high BP, it is necessary that blood pressure checkup should be made mandatory in pediatric departments. Screening in adolescence can prevent high BP and its resultant diseases. On the other hand, if we talk about the main causes of high BP, then consumption of junk food, lack of exercise, persistent mental problems like stress, anxiety, depression are the main reasons. To prevent and treat hypertension, it is necessary that we make necessary changes in our lifestyle.
